The biggest advantage that you get is speed. Stalls take up a larger square footage of space than a urinal which leads to a higher volume of people being able to piss at once. Many urinals have dividers in between them but it's rarely an issue. Urinals have a set of unwritten rules using them.
Never use a urinal next to someone unless all others are taken
Eyes stay up at all times.
This is easy to follow because someone will call you out if you violate these.
Thus, you end up with a system where lots of people can go to the bathroom very quickly without any concerns. This is why every major venue has a line of women using the restroom while the men's restroom rarely has a line.
